Talented Time Travelers in Focus #34


YOU CAN JOIN THIS WEEK'S PARTY—STILL IN PROGRESS—HERE!


Now don't forget, tomorrow starts week two of Funny Faux Pas Follies!  What blunders can you share to add a little humor to our day?  ; )


What's better than searching for fun treasures?  Doing so with someone you love, of course!

Cindy @ Dwellings—The Heart of Your Home found a handful of lovelies on a recent excursion with her hubby.

Isn't the little birdie she found just the sweetest thing?


I loved the simple, understated elegance of this vignette—in shades of green and white—created by Linda @ Coastal Charm.


And guess what?  I won this beautiful pillow in her last fabulous giveaway!  Woohoo!!!

Be sure to visit Linda, and while you're there check out her newest giveaway.


There are so many readers and followers of the Brambleberry Cottage who live in Texas, I sometimes feel I'm living in the wrong state!

For example, meet Texasdaisy from Gloryfeathers, Starlight, And Roses—a new party participant.

She has not one, but several fun blogs for you to peruse.


There are more incredible tutorials in Blogland than I will ever have the time to explore.

But some just draw you in and make you want to drop everything to try them out.

Such was the case with this gorgeous bedding created by Sadie Jane @ {simply delicious}.

I think her hip—yet romantic—bedroom is fantastic!


And here's another terrific tutorial—for tassels—by Terry @ Forever Decorating.

Say that quickly three times!  lol


Have you ever been treasure hunting and found something really special?

Well, Carolyn @ Adrift On The Lake did just that.

And the fun part was, it was buried right in her own home!


If you have a love of books—especially of the vintage variety—you must go visit Lynn @ Cottage and Creek and peek at her amazing acquisition.

Would you have guessed that the vintage book, shown above, was intended as a reference for a secretary?


Ann @ On Sutton Place is getting a head start on the HGTV 2011 Design Trend.

And she's doing so, in part, with this gorgeous afghan, made by her grandmother.


What would we do without flea markets, thrift stores and yard sales?!

Would we pay the oft-outrageous prices of the retailers—we so admire?

Thank goodness, we don't have to.

Wise shoppers, like Mary @ Lavender & Linen , opt to redo rather than pay the high prices.


There are so many talented stitchers out there—like Thendral @ Kavin.

She embroidered this lovely piece, then watched as her darling daughter tried to create her own design.


If you love looking at vintage pretties, pop on over to Patty's @ A Few Pennies and peruse her favorite findings—like the vintage Currier and Ives, below.


Don't ya just love alliteration?!!!  ; )

Now let's see what you've got goin' on this week.

And don't forget...

FUNNY FAUX PAS FOLLIES—this Friday...

as in tomorrow night!
